I saw this pop up on my recommended and as a ranga, true blue 50 year old Aussie male I thought, here we go. But surprisingly, I must say, kudos to you, this is one of the most sensible lists of advice tourists need. I think the rest just format a Chat GPT video, voice over included and post it. While us Aussies that watch it die inside, but they still get views. Thanks, good effort from Brisbane.

The Sunshine Coast is gorgeous. I used to live in the hinterland between Maroochydore and Maleny and absolutely loved it. I only left because of a job offer I couldn't refuse but maybe I'll get back there one day. .. With the magpies, try to make friends with them during the off season. They have good memories and tend to leave their human friends alone, No guarantees, but worth a shot.

Magpies (Australian Butcher Bird) is not endangered, but they are a legally PROTECTED species, their numbers are healthily increasing. I always go out in the morning to greet the local flock who sit on my fence and sing away. They would never swoop me (During breeding season). highly intelligent birds, they know who is friend or foe.

Read somewhere that magpies can remember 20 (?) faces so we name our magpies and feed them to keep on their good side. Gary and Wendy usually turn up at least once a day a warble to get my attention. If I am not fast enough, I have turned around and found Gary at the back door. Obviously checking to make sure I was getting the food. PS. If you see a huntsmen inside, just give it a name and let it be. They are great fly/mozzie protection and they are all natural!

Why am I watching this? I live in Australia 🤦‍♂️. We are very spoilt with coffee and food here! No.1 rule, swim parallel to the beach if you're in a rip, not against it, then swim in when you're out - they're actually handy, they carry you out and you can ride the waves back in. One thing I have noticed with some overseas visitors, is they don't realise the size of this place. Had a friend from the UK say they were going (from country Vic) to Sydney for the day. They were so used to being able to drive to a different country within a couple of hours that they didn't realise it would take the whole day to go from one city to another.

Pretty good observation for a pom. I want to correct the "Magpie Mating Season" though. Magpies do not swoop during mating season.... they swoop when their chicks are "on the ground". Magpies are wonderful, protective parents and they will warn humans, animals and other birds to stay away once their "children" have ventured from the nest and are learning to fly. Also, the use of "Mate" is correct, but "cunt" is also used as a term of endearment, an insult, in anger - it is all in the way you say it.

@@urizen7613Feeding magpies is contrary to the “don’t feed the wildlife” advice. Near my home we have lots of trees and lots of birds here, including magpies. When I (frequently) see maggies nearby, I just say hello and speak (in a nice and friendly voice), keeping my movements slowish and steady and not crowding them. I don’t feed them. They watch me closely and warily but do not appear to be at all frightened by either my presence or behaviour. As a result, I am never swooped near home in the breeding/nesting season, which starts soon, despite there being many magpies here.

Honestly it's only a very small minority of magpies, always the males (less than 10% of males) that actually swoop people. And then it's only a few short months of the year. We all live with resident magpies in almost every street in every town and city throughout Australia most of us, tourists included will never even see a swooping Maggie in our lives. Like the supposed spiders and snakes and almost everything else that's a much over exaggerated and over hyped myth that is completely untrue. Most of us even have daily visits by the local magpie family just coming to say g'day and have a chat about the weather. Coffee tip: Why pay some hipster with a beard and a rat stuck in the back of his head rolled in his hair when you can by a jar at the supermarket for the same price? Then after the cost of proper cow juice you can make yourself 50 coffees how you like your coffee and not what coffee trend you think you should be seen drinking with fake milk trying to fake being the hippest cafe hipster drinking some disgusting tasting inner city coffee that tastes like sh!t.

Agree with most of this apart from the sneering at our biosecurity laws. They ar there for a very good reason, even from state to state. Australia and New Zealand are 2 of the only countries in the world without rabies or foot and mouth disease, an outbreak of either would be catastrophic to both our agricultural industry and our native wildlife life, people like you who treat is a mere inconvenience have no idea and telling people it is simply an inconvenience is irresponsible

Mistake number 6 don't show foreign animals claiming them to be Australian natives. 1:42 that is a squirrel, we don't have squirrels. 1:47 not a possum, that is an American Opossum and a rather nasty little creature unlike our possums. 2:07 Rodger the kangaroo died a few years back. RIP Rodger. I heard he was quite old so he had lead a good life. 2:34 Giant pigeon is an apt description for the bin chicken. 3:46 Good information. You might want to add that emergency here is 000. Although honestly I think a UK tourist is far more likly to need sunburn gel than antivenom. 4:11 Not a magpie. I think that's a Butcher bird. And at 4:31 I think that might be a flock of pied currawongs. Magpies are larger. 4:39 That is a magpie. 5:59 Rabbits were brought over from England by Thomas Austin. He released 24 rabbits on his farm in Victoria for sport hunting and those 24 quickly turned into millions in no time flat. Many fences have been tried as well as bounties and diseases to try and curb the pests. They have done untold damage to the environment. Most cafe's will have good coffee. So long as it isn't an American chain.
